"We're your neighbors, we're your doctors and lawyers, accountants... we're just regular Americans," said Vice Chair of the MCC board Owais Siddiqui. "A lot of people have questions about Muslims and their neighbors and they may feel, perhaps, intimidated or just unsure about how to get those questions answered."

During the event, there were tours of the mosque and several presentations.

"The moment you eliminate ignorance or the lack of information, the vast majority of the time, you'll find a lot more commonality," said one speaker at the event.

There were also booths displaying different aspects of Islamic history including the first American printing of a Koran printed in 1806 in Massachusetts.

Siddiqui says one thing he wants people to know:

"We believe in the same God as the Christian God, as the Jewish God," he said. "A lot of times Muslims use the term 'Allah,' but that's just the Arabic word for God."
